Sins Invalid: An Unshamed Claim to Beauty in the Face of Invisibility

Sins Invalid is a performance project that incubates and celebrates artists with disabilities, centralizing artists of color and queer and gender-variant artists in performance work exploring sexuality, embodiment and the disabled body. Conceived and led by disabled people of color, we develop work that challenging normative paradigms of "normal" and "sexy" to offering a vision of beauty and sexuality inclusive of all individuals and communities.

"Disposable BodiesÃ¢ will address whose bodies are considered Ã¢fitÃ¢ and which lives are held as valuable as we reclaim our bodies through the lenses of disability, queerness and race. Colonization and storytelling, epilepsy and eugenics, community history and personal narrative, Black families and the construction of masculinity will all be explored in this multidisciplinary performance based on the experiences of the writers and performers. We hope to unpack this work in dialogue with the audience following the performance.
